Transitional era color schemes. Northwestern Station. January 1984.

This was one of those "Rare"right time/right place chance photographs. We are inside Chicago's Northwestern Station in January of 1984. The commuter train on the left is seen Painted in the mid 1970's RTA color scheme, while the departing Commuter Train on the right is still in the original colors and markings of the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad. By the time this photograph was taken, sightings of Commuter train cars still in the Chicago and Northwestern colorscheme had become rare.
